How much does counselling cost?
Each individual counselling session costs £55*.
​
I require payment when an initial appointment is made in order to secure your booking. Sessions will last for a full hour.
​
*Please note that prices are reviewed annually in October.
How many counselling sessions will I need?
I offer both short and long term counselling, however the number of sessions needed varies with each individual or couple.
The sessions are client-led, and we can discuss the number of sessions that you had in mind and your aims for therapy during our initial meeting.
Where are you?
I am based in Cheshire, just over a mile away from Northwich in Winnington. I am easily accessible from both the M6 and the M56.
My office is based at Winnington Hall, a beautiful listed building with a rich history.
Parking is free.
Availability?
My clinic hours are on Mondays and Tuesdays. Unfortunately I don't offer any evening or weekend appointments.
​
I tend to see clients at the same time each week or fortnight. At busy times I do run a short waiting list.
Is counselling confidential?
I take your privacy very seriously. I am registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office. (ICO Ref: ZA481948). I will discuss confidentiality with you at our first session to ensure that you feel comfortable with my policies. Please see my Privacy Policy for more information.
What should I expect?
Your initial appointment will last for an hour and will give you an opportunity to find out if you feel comfortable working with me.
It's so important that you find the right 'fit' for counselling. Not all counsellors will meet your expectations, you might not feel comfortable with some therapists, and yet with others it may feel just right.
​
During this initial appointment we will discuss why you wanted to come to counselling and what you would like to change or gain from the sessions. Together we will discuss how we might work together to achieve your counselling goals and any other questions or concerns that you might have about the therapeutic process.
​
If you book in with me I will send you some information about the way that I work before the session, you can read through this before you come, or we can discuss it together during our initial hour together.
